Just Like Old Times

Yesterday, my roommates and I cleaned out 1 1/2 bags worth of trash from a trashcan that holds only one bag. I think it was three days past due. If you don't think garbage can go from bad to worse, let me tell you it can. But that's not the horrific part. There was this watermelon in our fridge and no one was claiming that it was theirs. It was getting so rotten and the finger was always pointed at someone else (it's not mine, really!). So yesterday we finally took it out of there. What was in this bag was no longer a watermelon. I swear when I threw it in the dumpster, it burst open and demons flew out of it. It looked like some kind of alien pod. So the moral is, don't buy watermelon unless you're going to eat it every day until it's gone. Also write your name on it so your roommates can go after you when its time has come. Anyways, the experience reminded me of my college days.

Some More Stuff About the Conference

There were a couple concerts that happened during the conference. The first was Derek Webb. I didn't know he was even in Caedmon's Call which kinda shows you how lame of a fan I am of Caedmon's Call. I have one of their CDs. But once I found out he was one of the lead vocals of Caedmon's Call, then I was really looking forward to it. His wife sang too. She was pretty good as well.

But my favorite group of the weekend was The Hodges which is a family band from my old church. They are like a real life Partridge family. Their music style is really interesting. It's like a rockin' bluegrass funk kind of music. I didn't think I would ever like any band that had a banjo in it, but these guys are the true exception. Here's a sample of one of my favorite songs. They totally rock.
